So yesterday was National Bootie Day. I'm not sure if that was real or a marketing ploy to get me to buy more boots. I love boots so I usually get a new pair each fall. This weekend I found a pair of sixties inspired black zipper booties. I'll have to pull out my bell bottoms to wear with those. I thought it would be fun to reminiscence about boots.

Let's start with a nice image of a peaceful place. This was taken on a river near where we live in Florida. Quite and beautiful and out in the middle of nowhere. My husband wanted to find some of the … [Read more...]
